Steps

1. Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and drain well.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
3. While the quinoa cooks, prepare the vegetables. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, slice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and crumble the feta cheese.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
5. Add the cooked quinoa, vegetables, and feta cheese to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
6. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the quinoa mixture onto the center of each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
7. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up the wrap to enclose.
8. Place the wraps in reusable containers and refrigerate or freeze for up to 3 days.
